MINNEAPOLIS — The No. 13 Wisconsin Badgers (OVERALL RECORD, BIG TEN RECORD) went on the road, to the always hostile Williams Arena, and RESULT the Minnesota Golden Gophers (OVERALL RECORD, BIG TEN RECORD), SCORE-SCORE.
The early part of this game was defined by how little defense both teams were interested in playing. The Gophers made nine of their first 12 shots and were able to pretty much get whatever shot they wanted. UW started off a bit more slowly, but still ended up shooting 56% in the first half, compared to Minnesota’s 52%.
